How to change w2ui grid column header background colors - w2ui

Question

After some searches I found, that I can change w2grid columns headers background colors. I wanna to do a table with work/rest days and with additional information. It's nice to get in header already to know which day is workday, which - rest
Here some code:
w2ui[ tab_grd[ 0 ] ].on( 'load', function( event )
{
event.onComplete = function()
{
prep_hdr()
}
})
preparing headers with function:
days = rsp.days
if ( Object.keys( days ).length > 0 )
{
for ( var u in days )
{
var col_id = 'd' + days[ u ].day
var dat_tp = days[ u ].type
var clr1 = 'white'
var clr2 = ( dat_tp == 'W' ? '#66d9ff' : ( dat_tp == 'R' ? '#80ffaa' : '#ff9980' ) )
var col = findElement( w2ui[ tab_grd[ 0 ] ].columns, "field", col_id )
if ( col != -1 )
{
var idf = 'td[col="' + col + '"].w2ui-head';
$( idf ).css( { background: 'linear-gradient( ' + clr1 +',' + clr2 + ' )' } )
}
}
}
It's working.
But columns of days are 31 + total column + some other columns and they not appears all at the same time. If to scroll horizontally to left/right - my colorization of col headers disappears.
As I'm seeing in w2grid.js source - scroll (event) function is repainting grid, that's why my colors disappear.
How can I solve the issue? How to hold my colors in col headers?
Thanks in advance

The re-creation of the HTML elements due to the virtual scrolling can indeed be annoying.
Your best bet is to override the scroll function with your own, where you re-add the styling to the column(s):
$(function () {
$('#grid').w2grid({
name: 'grid',
columns: [
{ field: 'fname', caption: 'First Name', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'lname', caption: 'Last Name', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'dummy1', caption: 'Dummy 1', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'dummy2', caption: 'Dummy 2', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'sdate', caption: 'Dates', size: '300px' }
],
"records": [
{ "recid": 1, "fname": "Joseph", "lname": "Haydn", "sdate": "1732-1809" },
{ "recid": 2, "fname": "Ludwig Van", "lname": "Beethoven", "sdate": "1770-1827" },
{ "recid": 3, "fname": "Wolfgang Amadeus", "lname": "Mozart", "sdate": "1756-1791" },
{ "recid": 4, "fname": "Johann Sebastian", "lname": "Bach", "sdate": "1685-1750" },
],
onRender: function(event){
event.done(setBgColors);
},
});
w2ui.grid.scroll_bak = w2ui.grid.scroll;
w2ui.grid.scroll = function(event){
this.scroll_bak(event);
setTimeout(setBgColors);
};
function setBgColors(){
$("#grid_grid_column_0").addClass("bg_red");
$("#grid_grid_column_4").addClass("bg_blue");
}
});

Or you could just disable virtual scrolling, making the changes to your DOM elements persistent:
$(function () {
$('#grid').w2grid({
name: 'grid',
disableCVS: true,
columns: [
{ field: 'fname', caption: 'First Name', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'lname', caption: 'Last Name', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'dummy1', caption: 'Dummy 1', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'dummy2', caption: 'Dummy 2', size: '300px' },
{ field: 'sdate', caption: 'Dates', size: '300px' }
],
"records": [
{ "recid": 1, "fname": "Joseph", "lname": "Haydn", "sdate": "1732-1809" },
{ "recid": 2, "fname": "Ludwig Van", "lname": "Beethoven", "sdate": "1770-1827" },
{ "recid": 3, "fname": "Wolfgang Amadeus", "lname": "Mozart", "sdate": "1756-1791" },
{ "recid": 4, "fname": "Johann Sebastian", "lname": "Bach", "sdate": "1685-1750" },
],
onRender: function(event){
event.done(setBgColors);
},
});
function setBgColors(){
$("#grid_grid_column_0").addClass("bg_red");
$("#grid_grid_column_4").addClass("bg_blue");
}
});
